    Stuttering Awareness Designated Times

    Making Public Presentations

    People who stutter are often invited to speak about their experience with stuttering. Below are some examples and ideas to assist others in taking advantage of these opportunities to educate others about stuttering.

    Newletters

    Many organizations involved with stuttering publish newsletters. Several have online versions either on their organization's website or put online elsewhere (for example on the
    CAPS site). These newsletters provide excellent information to share.

    Brochures

    The following brochures are not copy-righted and can be reproduced and distributed as they are printed online. Attractive, colored brochures can also be ordered from the sponsoring organization, for a small fee.

    Television / Radio Interviews

    Magazine/Newspaper articles and letters to the editor

    Posters about Stuttering

    Not all posters depicting about stuttering have been "positive." There is an interesting example of cooperation between ASHA and the National Council on Stuttering to get a poster pulled from the market.

    However, on a more positive note, putting up posters in your office, home, or dorm are good ways to provide information about stuttering. Several examples are provided below.

    Cards and Letters

    It was suggested that a thank you card (or letter) might be appropriate to send to someone who was a particularly good listener. The NSP may be developing cards, but if anyone would like to submit an electronic version which could be sent as an attachment or could be printed out, please contact
